Just when you think it can't get worse. Trump is his own worst enemy.
“I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job,” Trump said. The document logging the meeting was read to The New York Times by an American official. “I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.”
Can anyone actually believe that Trump had ANY other reason to fire Comey than to squelch the Russian investigation? And make this gloating statement directly to the Russians?
There were plenty of reasons to fire Comey. He was actually awful. My issue with this is timing; it was far too suspicious. I'd like to believe Trump and his advisors would be smart enough to know that, meaning my concern is that he was fired in desperation. Had he fired Comey in the first week or so, I'd have no complaints.
It's Trump being Trump. He left out some of the words. It's the way he communicates. Maybe in this case he was just trying to keep it simple since he was speaking to people whose native language is not English.
You would think people would understand this by now. But, as we all know, the media's/left's agenda is not to understand him or get clarification before they start spinning. Their agenda is to pick apart everything he says does and apply the most negative spin they can come up with.
It still remains, that anyone with half a brain would know what he meant.
Only stupid people have to have everything literally spelled out for them syllable by syllable.
You do realize that there are translators in these types of high level meetings, right? Or, do you need for that to be spelled out for you syllable by syllable? Keep it respectful, please...everyone shouting insults and acting patronizingly toward those who disagree with us gets the country nowhere. Conservatives and liberals...we all want what is best for the US.
Trump's approval rating needs to get down into the mid 20s before the GOP congress will call for impeachment. It's currently at 39%, but that's not accounting for the impact of this week's bombshells. I think once the facts are sorted out about this latest revelation and after Trump embarrasses us in the Middle East with his "Islam speech", I think we will be seeing the mid 20s within a couple of weeks as well as the beginning of impeachment proceedings. The GOP may also start putting pressure on Trump to resign and save face.
With Steven Miller writing his Saudi Arabian speech, I would expect some turd launching.
No lie is to great to the Leftists. They have lost all sense of decency, as well as credibility. The Left must be taken down. The "Anti-American Party" is at war with America.
I wonder how much money George Soros has dumped into this anti-trump hysteria?
What are you talking about? This is happening because Trump's own words and actions. Make no mistake. Trump is in this position because he put himself in this position.
Trump is the one who had his team saying for 2 days that he fired Comey after conferring with Rosenstein and Sessions (who should have not been involved). Then Trump throws them all under the bus and says "When I decided to just do it, I said to myself — I said, you know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story.”
Trump lied about rain and crowd size, tapping of wires, birther claims, etc x100.
When we don't parse his words, cons get upset.
When we DO parse his words, cons get upset.
Sure, but when the transcript does not speak for itself, then you have to ask for clarification.
What part of that do you no understand?
When something can be interpreted multiple different ways, you cant just choose your own interpretation of it and run.
Well you can, but if you do that you will often be wrong. Your choice.
I get that you don't care if you are wrong so long as your interpretation is what you want it to be, but lots of us do not operate that way.
